Subscribe to Events

To subscribe to events from a device, connect to the MQTT API and subscribe it to the events topic for that device.

To subscribe to all events the MQTT topic is: devices/{device.id}/events/+

To subscribe to a specific event the MQTT topic is: devices/{device.id}/events/{event.name}

Replace {device.id} with your device ID (should begin with dev_) and {event.name} with the name of the event you wish to subscribe to.

Example Code
